ost Mainers work hard to be able to live here, and my family is no exception. Many years ago, when I was working in publishing in New York City, with a soon-to-be oneyear-old, I turned to my husband and said, “We need to move.” At the time, we had spent the past 11 years looking forward to the few days every year when we would pile into the car to visit his family in York, Maine. They got to live here all year, and I was jealous. As much as I tried, I just couldn’t get Maine out of my mind. After many pitches, we were both able to convince our companies to let us relocate to Portland while maintaining our jobs. These days, my husband still travels to New York City a few times a month, but we feel extremely grateful we are able to live in this incredible state. Our kids love the winters filled with snowboarding, eating fresh snow topped with maple syrup, and sledding the hill behind our house. Summers are spent outside exploring, catching hermit crabs on the shores of Ferry Beach, and (for adults) sitting in our backyard enjoying an early-evening cocktail. Whether you’re here just for the summers or a weekend, or if you live here all year, you become part of this place. Our May issue of Maine Home+Design has always been our “Kennebunks” issue—a place that truly embodies the essence of Maine. The owners of the homes in this issue have one thing in common: they are all mindful of the natural riches of Maine. The Rizzieri family built their home abutting Goose Rocks Beach

around grade challenges and coastline restrictions (A Twenty-First-Century Saltwater Farmhouse, page 82) to create a functional home that accommodates their love of cooking and entertaining. And nature and simplicity define the Morris home in Kennebunkport, with its shoebox design and flat grass roof (Neighbors, Friends & Friends of Friends, page 104). One of the best ways to explore and experience the natural beauty of Maine is by camping. Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport asked 12 interior designers each to design a tent they felt conveyed their Maine design aesthetic (12 Ways of Looking at a Tent, page 120). One of the designers, Kennebunk resident Louise Hurlbutt, gave us a personalized tour of the Kennebunks. It is a route I will make sure to repeat when I’m there this June for the weeklong celebration of food, art, and music that is the Kennbunkport Festival. Speaking of paths, you might have noticed some changes on our masthead. Whether you listen to our radio station or read our magazines, you have gotten to know Dr. Lisa Belisle over the past seven years. I am thrilled to announce that Lisa has taken on the role of editor-inchief. And because every issue of Maine Home+Design takes you on a journey through the best design the state has to offer, we have to get out of the office: now our longtime art designer, Heidi Kirn, will be part of this exciting scouting process (turn the page to read more about Heidi’s new adventure).

Huffard House INTERIOR DESIGN

n a leap of faith, I returned home to Maine nine years ago. Just a week later Maine and Maine Home+Design magazines mysteriously appeared in my mailbox. I remember the feeling of running my hand across that beautiful matte cover. The thick, glossy interior pages were filled with stunning photography and thoughtfully written stories about Maine businesses, homes, and artists. I was thrilled that the Maine I grew up in was now being celebrated in this way. I had always tried to describe to my friends “from away” how Maine was not only beautiful but also filled with unique and creative people. When my dad was at my house a few days later, he saw the magazines on my coffee table, giggled, and asked how I liked them. He was beyond thrilled that we had moved here, and had secretly gotten me a subscription. The next day I reached out to the magazines to get a conversation rolling about the possibility of working with them. Eight years have passed since I joined the team as art director of Maine Home+Design as well as Maine magazine’s Annual Guide series. It’s a creative job that I have loved. It has given me the opportunity to cultivate close friendships with our writers and photographers while designing the layout of these pages. I have worked

207.747.5956 huffardhouse.com 38 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

with some of the most talented architects, builders, designers, artists, and craftspeople around the state. In your hands is my last issue as art director. Maine Media Collective has grown tremendously since my first days, and I couldn’t be more excited about moving into the role of editor-at-large. In this position I will focus on connecting even more with our community to learn about new projects and businesses. I will be taking journeys up the coastline to the lakes and mountains to visit homes and talk with homeowners. I want to hear about why they choose to live in Maine, what their design process was, and how they live in their homes. We cover homes in all of our publications, including Maine, Old Port, and Ageless Maine. If you have not had a chance to read these stories, I hope you will look for them. I am looking forward to curating home stories for all of our magazines, and continuing to contribute photography to our pages. And I won't forget to pull over on the side of the road and capture the beautiful views along the way. Follow along with me on Instagram @heidikirn and @mainehomedesign.

In Life Unstyled by Emily Henson, vintage paintings, a floral backdrop, and warm natural textures combine for a cool and collected look.

casual, cool loft space mixes natural elements such as flowering branches; fun hues of lilac, garnet, and pale pink; and rich textures (note the plentiful sheepskin rugs). The space is featured in Emily Henson’s Life Unstyled: How to Embrace Imperfection and Create a Home You Love (Ryland Peters and Small, 2016), in which the stylist and author reminds us that there’s beauty not just in the “pristine and polished” but also in making “the most of the home you have.” So feel free to mix and match decor for a quirky and collected vibe: try glass blower Joe Cariati’s smoky blue vase, brilliant red tea cups with curlicue handles, and a whimsical lantern in bubble gum pink. Does the space, after bringing together various eras and styles, feel a bit like an eclectic mishmash? Well done, that’s the point. MH+D

A IA D ESIGN T HE O R Y EDITED BY DANIELLE DEVINE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SEAN THOMAS

FORENSIC ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECT DAVID DOUGLASS

he focus of my practice and my company, Envelope Architecture and Consulting, is building science—how buildings perform in the hostile environment in which we live,” says architect David Douglass. Douglass has worked in the Portland area since 1997. “A colleague of mine has referred to me as a ‘forensic architect,’” says Douglass. “I feel that building performance is one of the most important aspects of architecture, since buildings keep us protected from the environment and allow us to live our lives daily in a safe and comfortable way.” MH+D asked him to tell us more.

IN MH+D’S CONTINUING COLLABORATION WITH AIA MAINE, WE PRESENT TO YOU EACH MONTH A DESIGN CONCEPT FROM AN ARCHITECT’S POINT OF VIEW. 62 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

How does forensic architecture work? Do you collaborate with other architects?

I believe you can’t truly understand how building assemblies succeed or fail unless you design them. I wear a lot of hats as an architect. I help people fix buildings that have problems such as masonry failures, leaks, flashing leaks, and window leaks. This includes investigations that often require taking a wall or roof apart to determine where the failure is. I provide them with remedial details as well. I design exterior enclosure packages, roof walls, and foundations for other architects. They design the look of the building, and I provide the components and details to make it perform properly. I will do peer reviews of other architects’ details when asked. I also assist clients with historic restoration, window design or replacement, authentic period details, and material selections.

You have been in this field for over 20 years. How have design problems changed?

In new construction, many problems come from two places in today’s building industry. The first is that building wall assemblies are getting more and more complicated. In the past we built very simple walls: mass masonry or wood structures. These buildings were inefficient and wasteful from an energy standpoint. They breathed and had big variables in what they could withstand from wet to dry or hot to cold. Today we have a need for energy efficiency and sustainability. The demand on an enclosure system to perform is very complex. Add to that all the holes we put in our buildings—windows, doors, vents, air exchange, makeup air—and you have hundreds of intersections that need

to perform for decades. Then just for fun we have many different types of building materials with various makeups that must work together, but often don’t. It is my job to make sure that what’s there works, and if it is not working, find out how to make it work. Where we once had walls that acted as buffers to the environment, we now have control layers for moisture, vapor, air, sound, odor, thermal resistance, and light. It’s my responsibility to choreograph all of this.

Q. A.

How is this all regulated?

This complex dance we have today has brought on the concept of building commissioning. Building commissioning is a structured quality-assurance process intended to ensure that a building, when delivered, meets the owner’s requirements. Simply put, commissioning means that all parts of a building, including all the systems, perform as designed and intended for the owner. I provide building enclosure commissioning as part of this process. I am currently the only certified Building Enclosure Commissioning Process (BECxP) provider in Maine. This role is unique, as I am responsible for properly verifying other architects’ design work and ensuring that what is installed by the contractor is per the design. If it is different, I give input on it if I feel it will meet the intent of the design. AIA is a huge advocate for building performance and education. Much of what I do relates directly to the health, safety, and welfare of people, and AIA has that at the forefront of their mission.

Decorative painter Hope Angier designs artful paneling for a Penobscot Bay home

his nautical-inspired decorative painting was intended as a colorful focus for the kitchen area. I decided to treat all the cabinet doors as one mural, rather than creating a separate vignette on each panel. It was a challenge to create an image that could break into sections yet remain as an uninterrupted design. In the kitchen, the windows look out toward the open waters and islands of Penobscot Bay, so it was important to me to create a mural that incorporates the environment and continues the nautical theme. I chose an earthy palette, using yellow ochre to represent the ocean and sky. In this room, where heather green and white are predominant, the yellow ochre contributes to the space rather than overwhelming it. The softness of the mural allows other colors to play off it as accents. The yellow ochre background is easy to live with, and it’s unique and distinctive, while offering a touch of sophistication as well. The mural is simplistic in style, but balanced. The weight of the piers on the far left and right frame the design, allowing me to treat the middle panels with fewer details. On their own, the middle panels might seem sparse, but in a bank of many doors, they become graceful, balancing out the weight of the sides. After I painted the mural, my husband fauxgrained the cabinet door frames as well as the island base and drawer fronts throughout the rest of the kitchen, tying the room together. We also designed two four-foot-square compass roses on the floors of two adjacent rooms and fauxgrained the drawer fronts in those rooms to further complement the kitchen. On two major staircases, we painted compass roses on each of the risers, echoing the nautical elements in the kitchen. Nautical themes have a personal draw for me, since my husband and I are avid sailors and spent about six years living on a boat while still painting. We’ve been in the decorative painting business for 36 years. Over that time, as tastes have changed, we’ve taken basic decorating techniques and adapted them for any style, in any palette. Because we use oil paints and glazes for all our work, it’s going to last indefinitely, regardless of trends. In this particular house, I appreciate the serenity of these scenes. Every little boat, tree, and element has the faintest shadow against the stillness of the water. To me, it’s restful, happy, and calming. And timeless, too. —Hope Angier, owner of Hope R.

Builder Kevin Lord in the bay window of a Kennebunkport home under construction by his firm, Thomas and Lord.

BY SUSAN AXELROD | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISTINA WNEK

HARD WORK ETHIC For custom homebuilder Kevin Lord, success happens the old-fashioned way

n direct contrast to the stunning, richly detailed homes he builds along the southern Maine coastline, Kevin Lord’s office building on Route 1 in Arundel is an unassuming box. On the approach, the only key to its identity is a parked truck lettered with his company’s name, Thomas and Lord. Inside, among the cabinet door and moulding samples, a framed quote attributed to Franklin D. Roosevelt offers a key to Lord himself: “A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” Lord is more of a powerboat guy, but the words still aptly describe his path to success: he has ridden out the rough waves with hard work, tenacity, and a fearless ability to take risks. Lord grew up in the western Massachusetts mill town of Chicopee, the middle child of three siblings whose father left the family when Lord was 12. His mother worked three jobs to keep their modest house; Lord and his brother Jim pitched in to help pay the mortgage by getting work permits in their mid-teens. “Our biggest fear was going to live in one of those horrible projects,” Lord says. From a young age, he spent his free time building things in a small wood shop in the basement. “When all the other kids were outside in the summer, I was down there,” he says. After graduating high school, Lord went to work for a custom homebuilder, eventually ending up on the crew that built a home for Kevin Thomas, owner of Maine Media Collective, who also lived in Western Massachusetts at the time. After eight years with the builder, Lord went out on his own as a skilled finish carpenter, and when Thomas bought a house in Kennebunkport that needed some work, Thomas’s friends suggested Lord. “He said, ‘Kevin who?’” recalls Lord with a

laugh. Because Thomas had left for work before sunrise and returned after dark, the two had never met in Massachusetts. In Maine, however, they quickly bonded, and Thomas soon floated the idea of launching a home construction business here. Lord declined; he had just purchased an old mill as an investment property, and business in Massachusetts was good. A few months later, Thomas asked him to do more work on the Kennebunkport house. They had the same conversation, and even though things were slowing down with work, Lord again said no. “Then he called me a couple weeks later and said, ‘Look, if I don’t do this with you, I’m going to do it with somebody else.’ I sold my house, sold my business, sold my interest in the mill, and moved to Maine.” That was in 2003. Originally named Welcome Back Cottages, Thomas and Lord became synonymous with fine homebuilding, especially in the Kennebunks, where the company thrived even after the stock market crash in 2008. “Right when the bottom fell out, a developer we worked with bought a big piece of land in Kennebunk that had all of these little cottages on it, Seagrass Lane,” says Lord. “They turned each one of them into a house, and we were the preferred builder there.” By the time the project was finished, the economy was turning back around. “We just kept on trucking,” he says. Thomas and Lord also connected with Kennebunkport real estate developer and hotelier Tim Harrington. “I built his last three custom homes, and 20 of his cottages at Hidden Pond [part of the Kennebunkport Resort Collection],” says Lord. Many of the homes the company builds are versions of the classic shingle style, with craftsmanship inside and out that reflect Lord’s fondness for fine woodwork

and also give new construction a sense of timelessness. “We put our own interpretation into these houses, which I think makes them feel the way they do,” says Lord. “We get a lot of subcontractors who work for other builders and they say, ‘Nobody puts the detail into these houses like you guys.’” In 2011 Lord bought his partner and friend Thomas out of the business, a move he acknowledges took a leap of faith. “I said, ‘I don’t know where this money is going to come from, but I’m just going to put my head down and drive.’” He has since expanded, relocating from a rented office to the building in Arundel, where he also runs a stone countertop business, Maine Marble and Granite. He also partnered with Larry Stoddard, owner of Distinctive Tile and Design in Portland, to open a location in Kennebunk. “It’s great because a lot of the people we work for will be here in the summer for two weeks with their family on vacation, but they need their house done next year, and we no longer need to send them to Portland for tile and to look at countertops,” says Lord. Not only does this make it easier on his clients, he notes, but “there’s some comfort knowing we’re all tied together.” Lord is clearly proud of his close relationships, both with his subcontractors and with his clients, many of whom become friends following what are often complex home-building projects. “I spend a lot of time drinking wine and beer at all these stops during the summer,” he says. “They’ll call me out of the blue when I’m on my way home and say, ‘I know you’re getting done, why don’t you swing by.” One such client is John Mills, the retired president of the clothing retailer Aeropostale, whose framed letter hangs in Lord’s office. “Recently, Mary and I have been able to make several visits to our Crescent Surf project,” Mills writes.

“As we traipse through our future home, we are enormously impressed by the workmanship and care taken with every aspect of the construction process.… The tradesmen, all, have affected their part of the building process with expert confidence and personal dedication.” Dedication to his work and to building a good life is what continues to drive Lord. He, his wife Kelly (whose family owns Alisson’s Restaurant in Kennebunkport), and their three children “live in a great house that I never, ever thought I’d live in,” he says. The garage holds a deeply personal marker of his success, one that he is aware may be misunderstood. “When I first met Kevin Thomas, he had this Porsche 911 Carrera convertible, and I thought, ‘I want to be successful enough to be able, when I want something nice, to buy it,’ because Kevin worked his butt off for it,” Lord says. After he bought Thomas out of the business, Lord asked him to let him know if he ever wanted to sell the 2000 Porsche, and in 2017, he got the call. “I don’t want people to get the wrong idea because they don’t know the story,” he says emphatically. “The value isn’t what matters; my new truck cost three times as much as that car. It’s just the meaning of it—being able to buy one of my motivations.” Even more motivating is the time Lord now gets to spend with his wife and children—winter weekends skiing and snowmobiling from their cabin in Bethel and summer days out on their boat, named Square Footage. His brother now lives in New Jersey and runs a division of the payroll company ADP. They’ve come a long way from their childhood, and Lord has never forgotten that. “I don’t think I would change anything, because it made us who we are and how hard we work,” he says. “If we don’t know the value of a dollar, nobody does.” MH+D

KENNEBUNKS A Designer’s Tour

A shingle-style summer home sports two weathervanes. A sunny afternoon on one of several sandy beaches in the Kennebunks. Come summer, the Kennebunk River is packed with boats of all stripes. Founded in 1889 by 13 summer residents, the Kennebunk River Club (opposite) was originally focused on canoeing, with tennis courts added in 1929. The club’s iconic, shingled boathouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

lmost everywhere you look in the Kennebunks there’s another Instagram-worthy scene: wide beaches bordered by wild roses, winding streets lined with classic New England homes, handpainted signs pointing the way to galleries, shops, and restaurants. Separated by the tidal Kennebunk River, Kennebunk and Kennebunkport have been popular summertime destinations since the mid-1800s. Today, visitors come almost year-round for weekend getaways, or to experience events such as Christmas Prelude in December, Paint the Town Red in February, and the Kennebunkport Festival in early June. Those lucky enough to live in this scenic place are accustomed to welcoming out-of-town guests. Interior designer Louise Hurlbutt, who lives in Kennebunk with her husband, Ralph, has a regular route she takes to introduce visitors to the community. “I always love to walk out our back gate and show my guests the Webhannet Golf Club, a beautiful 1890 club house with spectacular grounds,” she says. A short walk leads to Trinity Chapel, where antique ship models are displayed on the walls. Next, it’s on to Lords Point, a spit of land extending into the ocean, with stunning, shingle-style homes on either side of its dirt road. Hurlbutt and her guests then visit the beaches. “We drive along Beach Avenue past Mother’s Beach, Middle Beach, around the old Narragansett Hotel (now condos) and park at the point there,” she says. “We walk across Gooch’s Beach and all the way to the 76 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Kennebunk River, recounting all the history along the way—in my childhood there were 14 hotels on this side of the river.” Returning to the car, Hurlbutt makes a stop at Saint Anthony’s Franciscan Monastery. “The grounds are beautiful, especially if you take the path down to the river and the old boathouse,” she says. Next, the tour heads across the river to Kennebunkport, turning onto Ocean Avenue and stopping at the Arundel Yacht Club. “Everyone loves seeing the interior of this old wooden building with all the festive colored burgees hanging from the rafters,” Hurlbutt says. Across the street is the town green, where the gardens are dedicated to Barbara Bush. Farther along, walking into the Kennebunk River Club “truly brings one back in time,” she continues. “From the porch you can look left out the mouth of the river to the ocean, and on a clear day you can see across the water to Mount Agamenticus.” Just down Ocean Avenue is the grand Colony Hotel. “It’s always a treat to take friends into the lobby and back to another era,” Hurlbutt says. Across the road on the ocean side is Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church; the historic stone chapel is an especially popular spot for weddings. The final stop is another lovely old hotel, the Cape Arundel Inn and Resort, which has a view of the open ocean and of Walker Point—the summer home of Kennebunkport’s most famous residents, the Bushes. “The porch at the inn is the place to be on a summer evening,” Hurlbutt says. “It’s a perfect spot to have a drink, breathe in the salt air off the ocean, and feel truly grateful for where we live.”

(Opposite,clockwise from top left) Nautical details and patriotic colors decorate the exterior of a classic cape. Now condos, Narragansett by the Sea on Kennebunk Beach was built in 1905 as a hotel. Having sailed around the world as a teaching vessel with the Ocean Classroom Foundation, the Spirit of Massachusetts is permanently docked in Kennebunk and operates in the summer as a floating restaurant. This new home incorporates classic seaside cottage elements and modern design. The bridge (above) over the Kennebunk River that divides Kennebunk Lower Village from Kennebunkportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dock Square is named for local businessman and Kennebunkport selectman Mathew J. Lanigan, who died unexpectedly in 2012 at age 48.

This house on Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport was designed with multiple indoor and outdoor spaces. Seen here is the firstfloor sunroom with a balcony on the roof (at left), and the indoor/outdoor back porch, which has a second-floor sunroom off the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom.

uilder, architect, interior designer, and landscape architect—they all have the same thing to say about Melissa Rizzieri: she knows what she likes. “Oh,” Melissa worries, “I must have been a pain.” On the contrary, the team that worked with her and her husband, Jerry, on the Kennebunkport house they built in 2016 adored the process. Melissa was detailed, precise, and very clear in her desires. Plus, she always brought baked goods to meetings. (Raspberry bars get mentioned more than once.) Some of what she wanted was inevitable given that the existing Cape on the property abutted Goose Rocks Beach but did not take advantage of the views. Still, as a client, Melissa was asking for more than a beautiful house that would be mindful of its location. Part of her vision simply came from how she and her family planned to use the house. Melissa is an enthusiastic baker, and Jerry loves to cook. Both love to entertain. Paramount were a large kitchen with plenty of counter space, two sinks, and a central table to integrate both sides of the kitchen—not an all-purpose island but a true work table. Melissa found a photograph online of a machinists’ table with elegantly curved metal legs that she liked. Derek Preble adapted it, building a long table with a blue de Savoie marble surface and using oak instead of metal for the base.

Melissa also wanted her home to allow her frequent and plentiful overnight guests to both gather and retreat over the course of a stay. To that end, the house has the kitchen, living room, and dining room that you’d expect in a contemporary residence, as well as five en suite bedrooms, including two separated by sliding barn doors, which were targeted for the Rizzieris’ daughters. The basement, which has a polished concrete floor, holds a pool table, sitting area, and exercise equipment. Otherwise, the house is full of surprise spaces that simply don’t appear in many contemporary houses, including a foyer that segues into a generous hall and multiple exterior and interior sitting areas. A covered back porch (with remote control window and door screens that retreat into the mouldings) faces the ocean. The entry landing has a chair in which one can enjoy a cup of coffee while awaiting visitors. Both the living room and the owners’ bedroom have an adjacent sunroom. Grade challenges and coastline restrictions, not to mention the buildable footprint, presented building challenges that resulted in solutions that make the house all the more unique. The house is organized around two central corridors, one up and one down, and is divided vertically. If you are facing the house, the left side is “the barn”—not because it is a separate building but because its fenestration suggests a barn door with hayloft above, and

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 83

Homeowner Melissa Rizzieri wanted a very simple dining room with a partial wall to define the space. The dining table came from the Rizzieriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous Maine house and was refinished by interior designer Lisa Teague. The wovengrass chandelier is from Made Goods.

Vintage bed stands, a vintage bedspread, and a simple area rug suggest a bedroom one might find in an old Maine cottage. The storage window seats are lifted off the floor to give the built-in the appearance of having legs. A bookcase is fitted under the roofline. A view of the detailed kitchen trim (opposite) shows how the space opens to the first-floor hallway and staircase.

its floors are staggered at half-level with the floors of the main house. Inside, “the barn” references an old farmhouse with nickel-gap walls and poplar floors painted gray rather than the more sophisticated furnishings and antique white oak floors used elsewhere. Stairs rise from both ends of the central corridor. A full set goes to upstairs bedrooms, and a half set leads to yet another surprise space—a den with an adjoining nook with a double daybed. Another half-flight leads to a guest bedroom with yet another sitting room and a private balcony with views down the whole length of the beach. The Goose Rocks house was the Rizzieris’ second home in Maine. The first was a mere three blocks away. The couple moved for the opportunity to live directly on the beach, but saying goodbye to their first house was not easy. “The community was nirvana. It was Mayberry, USA,” says Melissa. Her kids grew up with idyllic summer childhoods, riding bikes and playing Capture the Flag, that would have eluded them in Manhattan, where they lived during the school year. “You’d think I was leaving Maine,” says Melissa of how traumatic she found the transition, even though she was bringing not only her family to the new house

but many of her belongings, as well as Brian Beaudette, the very architect who’d designed her initial Maine home in 2000, and who had since become a friend. Melissa also carried over specific favorite features from her first house (like a gray and white exterior palette and transom windows for the dining room) and materials (including reclaimed Belgium limestone from a previous project, now used for the living room’s fireplace surround). The new players on the project were builder Geoff Bowley of Bowley Builders, landscape designer Ted Carter of Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes, and interior designer Lisa Teague of Lisa Teague Studios. Their combined efforts produced a home that suggests a sophisticated yet spare saltwater farm, a house that might have grown organically over time, given the array of spaces and finishes and the presence, in the guest rooms, of vintage nightstands, oldfashioned coverlets, and built-in bookcases under the eaves. Teague minimally outfitted the rooms with textured neutrals and the lightest of ocean blues and greens for most of the house, letting the color come from the artwork, such as the paintings in the living room (one of Rizzieri and her two daughters) by Holly Irwin (of Roswell, Georgia).

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 87

The extra-large kitchen features casework and a custom table by Derek Preble. Architect Brain Beaudette broke up the kitchen space with an arch to divide the baking area to the rear of the room from the rest of the kitchen. The pendant lamps are from Farm Plus Table in Cape Porpoise.

The house is clad in double-dipped gray Maibec shingles (opposite) with white PVC trim and white clapboard at the front entry. The colors were inspired by the homeowners’ previous home. The porch and three windows to the left of the front door help “create a face to the house” and “an identity to the entrance,” says architect Brian Beaudette. A nook off the den in the “barn” portion of the house has nickelgap walls, a double daybed, and a poplar floor painted gray. It is one of the many spaces in the house intended for family or guests who want to sneak away for a nap or to read a book.

In the same way that the interior of the house has two impulses—one on the barn/cottage side, which has more color, and one on other side, which is subtler and more sophisticated—Ted Carter designed a landscape with two impulses, one to reflect the abutting dunes on the beach and another, by the front entry, to suggest an English garden. To this end, Carter used ornamental grasses, dwarf arctic willow, and butterfly bushes to create a loose, buoyant landscape on the beach side, and Hidcote lavender, Russian sage, sedum, and artemisia in the front of the house. The approach to the front door includes a partial driveway wall of New England fieldstone, which transitions into a weathered granite veneer stone by the house, all built by stonemason Herb Meyer. Steps and flatwork are of Mystic Mountain granite. The rough-edge profile of the risers and the inherent life and movement in Mystic Mountain granite (as opposed to static pebbly gray

granite) are intended to create an effect reminiscent of the Maine coastline, says Carter. Lisa Teague is a master colorist with a clear sense of how pigments change in varying lights. She worked as a decorative painter in France before she began her interior design career, and she brought her painting talents to the Rizzieri job. She sanded down the bright white farm table that the Rizzieris brought from their previous home and then added layers of gray and white glaze, surrounding the table with wishbone chairs by Hans Wegner from Design Within Reach and lighting it with a round woven-grass chandelier. Among her visual tricks for the house: using dark Pietra marble for the perimeter kitchen counters to make the room seem larger and hanging pendant lights over the owners’ bedroom side tables to reduce nightstand clutter. Color allows you to “force the eye to see only what you want to see,” Teague says, so the MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 91

The owners' bed is inset because of a challenge in creating the bathroom on the other side of the wall. Lisa Teague, who often likes to have a focal wall, turned the quirk into an asset, highlighting the unusual design feature with grass cloth. The pendant lamps prevent clutter on the bed stands. One of the kitchen’s two sinks is next to an open shelf holding cookbooks. “I do like Martha Stewart,” says Melissa Rizzieri. “She is tried and true.”

modest size of the owners’ bedroom is visually offset by the darkness of a textured grass cloth she selected for the alcove that accommodates the head of the bed. To convey her vision to the design team, Melissa referenced magazine and online images and used “her magic pencil,” a term architect Brian Beaudette coined for her drawings, because she sometimes sketched complicated ideas that didn’t easily translate to real life. But, back when building began, she said to Rusty Theriault, Bowley Builders’ project manager, “You know, if this doesn’t work, let’s just bag it.” Theriault invariably responded, “I am going to make it work.” In the end, that conviction was what Melissa most appreciated about the whole team who built her home. They were able to access her dreams and translate them into reality. MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 158.

Friends of Friends Word of mouth helps a budget-conscious couple build an eco-friendly, modern home

he architects I know often talk about how they choreograph the approach to a house. If the location is beautiful, there’s always the possibility of arranging sight lines and pathways for a big reveal: the “Wow!” of the view. I get this “wow” when I visit Carol Morris and Barry Salter’s home in Kennebunkport, but only after I get a chuckle, greeted as I am by four chickens. They were pecking by the front door when I stepped out of my car. I notice them at the same moment I see Salter seated at a table inside, raising his arm for a hello. The next thing I know, the door is open and three dogs are pushing forward for their own greetings. I hear Salter ask, “Are you OK with dogs?” I’m not—terrible phobia since girlhood—but I lie and say I am, because the three animals pressing forward are so friendly. Ditto Morris and Salter, who were just behind them. Somehow it seems right that friendliness should so overwhelm me at the doorstep, since friendliness was, in a manner of speaking, what got the house built. Morris and Salter have lived in Kennebunkport since 2003. In 2012, despite their fondness for their previous house and land, the latter cut through by a tidal river, they were ready to downsize. Morris was still self-employed as a communications outreach consultant, and Salter was beginning to consider retiring after four decades of work as an internist in York. They weighed their options, including the possibility of moving to Portland. But they kept stumbling over their love for their land. Because they had four acres, they wondered if they could sell their existing house and carve off a portion of the land to build anew. Even if they could, they didn’t imagine working with an architect. It would be too pricey, they reasoned, especially given that downsizing was partly about budget. A year later and still mulling things over, Morris, who is an interior design enthusiast, was flipping through an issue of Maine Home+Design and saw an article about a small house. It was open to its surroundings, topped with a green roof, and designed by architect Will Winkelman of Winkelman Architecture in Portland. Morris thought, “I could live in that.” Some time later, Morris shared her thoughts with

The extra-wide boards used as cladding for this contemporary house are square-edge, solid tight-knot Western red cedar.

It was a gift to Morris’s father, who published a book of Canady’s paintings.

a friend from down the road, landscape architect Todd Richardson of Richardson and Associates in Saco. Coincidentally, Richardson and Winkelman are frequent collaborators, so Richardson offered to make an introduction. It turned out that, with a budget-conscious builder—Ben Trout of Trademark in South Portland—and a creative yet simple design from Winkleman, Morris and Salter could afford what they wanted. And Richardson could be part of the project, too, helping to locate the house in a spot where (given wetland setbacks and regulations) the couple hadn’t even known they could build: on a plateau overlooking the river ravine, just above the spot where fresh water burbles noisily into salt. This is the “wow” that I see through large windows when I first enter the house. Morris and Salter wanted an affordable, forwardthinking, environmentally conscious house with modern, industrial design, minimal ornamentation, clean surfaces, a green roof, and a shower sans bath for the owners’ bathroom. As a doctor, Salter is all too aware of how many older patients slip in the bath. 110 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Morris pointedly didn’t want anything shiny. They wanted to be able to live on one level. For cost effectiveness, “simplicity is your mantra,” says Winkelman, and this belief happily dovetailed with other priorities. “When you have a view-oriented site, very frequently the shape of the plan is a long thin rectangle, so every space lines up to get a view, instead of some spaces being behind other spaces,” Winkelman adds. He designed a singlestory rectangular form with a flat grass roof, almost like a shoebox with green hair, which is to the right when you arrive at the house. To the left is a soaring, glass-filled, double-story form with a shed roof. The different levels allow for both “tall spaces and cozy spaces,” Trout points out. Inside, the ground floor has eight-foot ceilings for an open kitchen/dining/living room with a striking staircase of maple and stainlesssteel cabling that incorporates the light-filled, open stairwell into the central space. A short hallway off the entry has closets and a laundry room. A parallel short hallway at the far side of the great room leads to the powder room and owners’ bedroom with

The living room (opposite) has a Rais stove and a window seat with an oversized window that faces the woods and a chicken shed. The floor is bamboo, chosen for being a renewable and inexpensive wood. The rug from Mougalian Rugs complements the couch and pillows from Pottery Barn. The baskets tucked under the window seat are from Target. Carol Morris stands in the pantry of her kitchen. The cabinets vary from the other side of the kitchen. Here, the bottom cabinets read as furniture (given the solid maple legs), and there is open shelving and a maple countertop. The cabinets, as well as the metalwork, were designed and fabricated by Trademark.

The wood headboard in the owners’ bedroom was acquired online. The oil painting by David Little was bought at auction in the 1980s. The second-floor landing is also an office, which includes this chair. A detail of the staircase. “Stairs in houses or buildings are sculpture if you treat them right,” says architect Will Winkelman. The dining area (above) of the great room features a Restoration Hardware French boulangerie table that butterflies out to seat 12. Morris first saw it in Julie Carlson’s Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home, a book Morris referenced for many design ideas.

adjacent bath. The stairs lead to an upstairs office on a large landing with a separate TV room. Though the facade of the single-story portion of the house has narrow, vertical windows for privacy, oversized windows otherwise fill the home, offering views of the green roof (seeded with a fescue mix), the woods, and the back deck facing the river and a seating area just beyond. “You feel like you are outside, even when you are inside,” says Morris. There are even big windows, per Salter’s preference, behind both the kitchen sink and stove, so one can gaze outside while cooking. The kitchen glass runs dramatically from the countertop to the ceiling, necessitating a four-sided oven hood. As installed, it has an almost sculptural quality. Trademark’s cabinetry shop further customized the kitchen. The space is one room but with two sections: one a work

space, another more like a pantry. The countertops are black leathered granite in the work space and maple (which Morris regularly oils) in the pantry. The cabinetry below the counters is of prefinished maple plywood with iron hardware. Morris wanted open shelves above the counters, and Trout found inspiration for wood shelves with iron brackets at Bramhall Pub in Portland. At first, Morris worried her belongings would look too eclectic on her open shelves, despite her desire for such shelves. She discovered the items she’d culled from her previous house “ended up going together, because I have a specific palette that I like,” she says. The same was true for furnishings. The couple mostly used items from their previous house; however, one new purchase is a French farm table from Restoration Hardware that cleverly butterflies open so it can seat 12.

With no interior trim around the doors and windows and “few visual lines to capture your eye inside,” says Winkelman, the focus is always toward the outdoors. Even so, there are a few extra design touches: simple built-in bookshelves and a deep bench below a large square window. Intended as a reading nook, the space, in practice, functions more like a baby-changing table for grandchildren, Salter says. When it is time for me to go, I cross a short bluestone path to my car that takes me across an oversized slab of Mystic Mountain fieldstone that Richardson found at Genest in Biddeford. It forms a small bridge over a drainage swale in the yard. (Siting, elevations, water management, and drainage were part of Richardson’s contribution to the overall plan.) When I arrive

at my car, I turn back to look one more time at the house. It has Scandinavian-inspired, extra-wide red-cedar boards with square edges that serve as cladding. They have been laid like clapboard and treated with a dark semitransparent stain. An even darker stain has been used for the red cedar that frames the windows. “I like to do something different,” says Winkelman, speaking of the atypical exterior choices (though he could be speaking of the house as a whole), “and to have a little bit of a pause.” Before I drive away I pause myself, thinking how sensibly unusual this whole house is, both practical and one-of-a-kind, tucked just off the road but feeling worlds away.

12 Ways

of Looking at a Tent

Last summer, 12 interior designers and artists created a series of glamping (a portmanteau of “glamorous” and “camping”) tents at Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport. The designs ran the gamut from nautical to woodsy, globally eclectic to hyper-local, and each one functioned as a miniature showcase of the designer’s talents and aesthetic. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go glamping!

Just minutes away from downtown Kennebunkport, Sandy Pines Campground feels like a glamorous escape—particularly now that they have glamping tents available to rent. Visitors to the campground can also stay in their “camp carriages” (tiny houses on wheels), the A-frame tent huts, or the refurbished RVs (opposite). While Sandy Pines has an undeniably retro aesthetic, they also mix in modern and rustic elements, like this stag triptych (left). A view from above: the pool at Sandy Pines (below).

Nautical Nights

rom the moment you enter Deborah Chatfield’s preppy sailing-themed tent, your eyes go straight to the bright and boldly painted headboard. The sturdy natural wood bed frame is topped with a striking painting by artist Semper Lockwood. Lockwood’s piece was inspired by a 1653 nautical chart that Chatfield found that “has great coloration.” She says the map “set the tone for the rest of the tent design.” “We kept everything nautical in nature, but with some organic elements as well.” Chatfield brought in a chandelier made from New England–grown oyster shells to inject some texture into the room, which contrast neatly with the sleek brass boat cleats she installed on the punchy green dresser. She worked with Alfred’s Upholstery to create pillows for her rattan armchairs and sourced one-of-a-kind vintage pieces from Rockport Antiques and Design in Rockport and Suburban Home Outfitters in Scarborough to give the space a homier feel. The result is like walking onto a well-appointed sailboat—Nautical Nights feels like a cozy place to retreat following a day of adventuring in the Kennebunks.

Coastal Comfort

ronwyn McCarthy Huffard drew the inspiration for her tent from the “Yankee sensibilities of most Mainers.” Every element inside the space, from the black iron bed from Four Hands to the round metal coffee table, was chosen with an eye toward durability and practicality. “Nothing is too fussy or fancy, but it’s all great quality,” Huffard says. “I was after a casual, fresh, welcoming style, and so I used navy blue, white, and some pops of red and yellow.” These hues harken back to Huffard’s time spent sailing up and down the Maine coast, but rather than present a straightforward nautical-themed tent, Huffard decided to mix in some global elements. She picked out ikat throw pillows, wicker chairs, and an indoor/ outdoor rug in blue and white from Williams Sonoma. Toward the end of her design process, Huffard noticed that she had an empty space to fill above the bed. “I couldn’t find just the right thing, so I tried my hand at painting,” she reveals. The funky red and white print was just the ticket, and she adds that making it gave her a “new appreciation for how hard artists work at their craft!”

Modern Earth

“I

chose a theme that would reflect my own philosophy of incorporating design elements that have the least possible amount of negative impact on our environment,” explains Jan Robinson. Her tent pays tribute to Maine’s natural bounty; she chose a headboard made from a live-edge pine slab as a nod to the Pine Tree State’s forestland and an area rug printed to look like river stones. “The color scheme was chosen to reflect the colors of the Maine woods,” she says. “I used moss green, beige, brown, and a few pops of pink.” Above the bed, Robinson hung a piece of art she created using live moss (cut into the shape of the Maine state boundaries) set behind an old window frame. When Robinson herself needs to unplug and relax, she heads for the woods. “The forest centers me,” she says. “My ultimate goal for the tent was to design a place where someone could come, stay, and feel at peace.” Visitors to the Modern Earth tent told Robinson it feels “very zen,” which is “exactly what I was going for,” she says. “It felt wonderful to hear that.”

Beyond Boundaries

isa Teague, owner of Quiet Home Paints, wanted her tent to feel serene and reflective of the Maine coast without seeming overly “beachy.” “I chose to work with a classic palette of blues and white, and I brought in rustic boards salvaged from a New England barn for behind the bed,” she says. “I chose a chandelier made of rope from Shades of Light to give a nod to the fishing industry, and other small accessories had a coastal vibe.” Teague played up the airy nature of the tents through an original piece of artwork she painted specifically for the tent that depicts a slice of brilliant blue summer sky and white fluffy clouds. She worked with craftsman Matt Bataran from Berwick to create the oversized headboard, which divides the room into two and shields the dresser and storage from view, effectively creating a small dressing area behind the bed. She brought in blue textiles and a porch table and chairs from Vagabond Vintage to round out the rustic-yet-light design. “The barn board set the tone for the room while the painting set the palette,” she explains.

Wanderlust

ouise Hurlbutt drew from the aesthetics of two very different locales for her tent. “I went to camp in Maine as a child, and then later in life I went on safari in South Africa,” she says. “I wanted my tent to have the feel of sophisticated camping,” complete with some of the same luxuries you might find in a British safari camp. She worked with local craftsman Ben Welch to create the one-of-a-kind birch-bark clothes rack and sourced antler lamps from Barbara Cosgrove Lamps. She layered a soft cowhide rug tracked down from Santa Fe on top of a 100-year-old oriental rug to create a plush, romantic atmosphere from the ground up. Hurlbutt chose a distinctive color palette of black, gold, and seafoam green. Once she nailed down her colors, she found a black metal bed with linen upholstery, to which she added black and gray striped bedding. “That bed so reminded me of my days at camp,” she enthused. “Each piece I found added more excitement to the room. I could imagine myself staying in Wanderlust for a week.” She adds, “My age group wants to be in nature with all the conveniences.” Cushy yet adventure themed, Wanderlust hits all the right notes.

Seagrass

nnie Stickney fondly remembers summers spent in Kennebunkport at her grandmother’s house. It was a large old New England home, with woven sea grass rugs, splatter-painted floors, and a “puzzle room.” “We would have a puzzle going all summer long,” Stickney remembers. “My tent is an homage to my grandmother.” In order to stay within budget, she sourced almost all her items from online shops, including Garnet Hill and Vaxcel Harwich, where she purchased the pendant lighting. She bought metal chairs from Flash Furniture, which she and her husband customized with layers of joyfully applied splatter paint. She used Safavieh rugs to create texture on the floors and dimmable pendant lamps to set the mood. Stickney chose colors that “took me back to my childhood,” she says. “I wanted soft blues, cream, and pops of orange.” She wanted guests to feel immediately at home and beset with the childlike desire to “run straight to the beach.”

Under the Indigo Sky

ngunn Milla Joergensen describes her neutral-toned tent as a “boho luxury nest,” perfect for lounging and soaking in the salty ocean air. She used natural materials throughout the tent, including wood, cotton, linen, and wool, with the intention that these items would become “softer and more beautiful with time and wear.” Her husband made a set of traditional Adirondack chairs that she stained “the same color as the sand on the beach.” Joergensen also brought in huge whitewashed logs that she found on Kennebunk Beach to serve as side tables. “It took me two hours to haul them across to where a friend could put them in his truck,” she remembers. While Joergensen used primarily stormy grays and unbleached cottony beige, she did bring in bits of indigo here and there to add depth and dimension. She purchased heavy cotton throws from Maine Woolens in Brunswick, in case the nights in the tent ever felt chilly. But overall, Joergensen kept her space sparse and clean. “I didn’t want my tent to have too much stuff—I need to breath and move in a space, and I like to think others want the same thing,” she says.

Blixen’s Oasis

icola Manganello of Nicola’s Home believes that “ambient, dramatic lighting is the pinnacle of good design,” which is why, when she was designing her decadent and bold tent, she started with standout chandeliers made from seashells. “I wanted visitors to feel as though they were in another world,” she says. “As if they had traveled from far away and opened a chest of precious things.” Her tent feels like a bohemian fantasyland, with beaded valances on the screen windows, rattan chairs, a mosquito net–draped canopy bed, and quirky chic items piled on every surface (many of the items were sourced from Antiques on Nine). She even incorporated some personal items, including a pair of taxidermy animal heads. “They were left to me by a dear friend who passed away,” Manganello explains. While some visitors were a little wary of the animal items, Manganello says she likes how wild the space feels. “One woman told me, ‘I want to spend a rainy day here with a good book, lying in bed.’ That, I understood.”

Base Camp

rista Stokes describes her tent as “Out of Africa meets Walden Pond and then goes to a Guns N’ Roses concert,” and as quirky as this explanation sounds, it fits. With a focus on functionality, Stokes created a comfortable yet slightly wild space with sheepskin throws on the bed, a vintage gaming table, outdoor poufs for lounging, and a hightop dining and bar area for guests to “unload provisions, prepare snacks and cocktails, and play games.” Stokes says she was inspired by her father’s career; as a child of an Army Ranger, Stokes spent much of her childhood traveling and camping. The space is “rugged, versatile, sturdy, practical, with the heart of an adventurer.” She also worked with Jess Jenkins and her team at Daytrip Society and Daytrip Jr. to create a tagalong teepee for children, with two cozy little beds, two cushy log-printed nightstands, and a black shiny chest for treasures.

130 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Wildflower Retreat

unny and bright, Nicki Bongiorno’s tent is a celebration of blossoms. “Wildflower Retreat’s graphic palette of black and white, accented with pops of colorful floral, is inspired by the current lines at the fashion houses of Prada and Yves Saint-Laurent, and is intended as a nod to my mother,” Bongiorno says. She chose furniture based on its durability, function, and style, mixing in metal details (like the wire and wood coffee table and the seafoam green double-rocking metal lounge chair) alongside wicker and rattan. “The ebony-limed oak bed that I designed is one of my favorite features,” she says. “I love the way the liming process brought out the grain in the wood and how it stands out against the ebony stain.” She also notes how this piece created a separate changing and storage area for guests. Alongside the vanity, “these comforts of home are unexpected in a tent,” she says. Bongiorno also used succulents purchased at nearby Snug Harbor Farm and perennials from Estabrook’s to add a living element to her playful and artistic space.

Plein Air

lein air is an outdoor painting style popularized in the nineteenth century, and James Light’s tent salutes and celebrates landscape artists. On one side of the tent, he created a small dining space that is lit by a black iron drafting lamp and could easily be transformed into a workstation for watercolors. Light mixed industrial-style furniture and midcentury modern pieces throughout the open and airy room to create a trendy yet timeless space. He also included a selection of art supplies for visitors to try their hand at painting, plus Scrabble and cribbage for less artistically inclined guests. “I’m hoping that my tent will draw out the artist in all of us,” he said.

132 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Nomad

everly Bangs, owner of Antiques on Nine in Kennebunk, brought an eclectic retro sensibility to her Hemingway-inspired tent. Named Nomad, this space calls to mind the “bohemian Parisian lifestyle and the arts and design of Morocco,” explains Bangs. “I wanted it to be funky, but not too funky. I wanted it to be the kind of place where you might find really valuable pieces mixed in among some cool found objects.” She sourced old vintage portraits, which she framed and placed on the table, and threw a World War II–era leather bomber jacket over one of the chairs. “I sourced that from my colleague’s grandfather,” she revealed. “I wanted the tent to feel as though there is a person who could have lived here, and that person had traveled all around the world and lived a full, rich life.” Aside from the small, personal touches, Bangs also added a few large showstopper items, like the bed, which has “extra-tall bedposts to match the high ceiling,” and the chandelier. “It took the form of a classic chandelier, but made with unfinished wooden beads in place of the crystals,” she says. “With the black iron and the wood, it’s been knocked down a notch, and that works perfectly inside a canvas tent.” MH+D

am fortunate to live in a part of the country that is picturesque, and I am constantly aware of the natural beauty of Maine when I step out my door every morning. The Maine coast and the tidal marshes nearby inspire my landscapes. I hope to evoke the feeling of being in the landscape by communicating the quality of light and color, the feel of the breeze and vastness of

space. I most often work from imagination, memory, and intuition to convey atmospheric perspective and timelessness in nature. I am an artist because I want to know what it is to be alive. To be present. I want my paintings to reflect a moment in time as an experience of what it is to be human tethered to this mortal coil.

BIG BARN, Small Batch From April to December, Farm Plus Table in Cape Porpoise sells smallbatch gifts, locally made home goods, and thoughtful kitchenware

1. tktkktktkt

hen Liz and Bruce Andrews first opened Farm Plus Table in Kennebunkport’s picturesque Cape Porpoise neighborhood, Liz knew she needed to find some “mice for the barn,” as she puts it. The home goods store is located inside a large red building built in 1889 that once functioned as a livery stable. (Bruce and Liz even have boarding receipts from 1913 to prove it.) “Barns always have mice, and I like that whimsical touch,” Liz says. And so she went out and found some mice. The mice in question are three inches tall and made of iron. They sit on a distressed wood cutting board facing each other, and one of them holds a small serving knife. “I wish we could 146 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

figure out who put that knife in its hand and thank them,” jokes Bruce. “Ever since they did that, we’ve sold so many of these guys.” The figurines, the cutting boards, and the cheese knives are all flying off the shelves. “People often purchase them together,” Liz adds. Although they have been in business for only four seasons, Farm Plus Table has already amassed a loyal following of summer residents and year-round shoppers. Before moving to Maine from South Carolina, the Andrews vacationed frequently in the Kennebunks, which gave them a feel for the community (and stoked their desire to move north). On the day I visit, the store is jam-packed with both people and products. Every

available surface holds giftable wares, from locally made jellies and preserves to woven baskets and wool blankets. But while the outside of the shop makes a bold and colorful statement—as does the owners’ restored 1953 cherry red Ford truck emblazoned with the Farm Plus Table logo—the clutter of the shop’s interior is offset by the couples’ conscious choice to highlight natural wood, creamy linens, and off-white tones. “It’s how I decorate at home,” Liz explains. “My style is neutral. We often get the comment that our store feels so calming. That’s intentional.” Also intentional are their careful vignettes, which Liz and Bruce have designed so that shoppers can either purchase items en masse or individually. Clean white ceramics from Vermont are paired with hand-carved wooden spoons and sea-salt–scented soaps, and eco-friendly Bee’s Wrap is presented next to honey dippers, jars of Maine wildflower honey, and cheese boards from Whitten Hill Studios. Elsewhere in the shop, Liz and Bruce have set up a collection of pet-related items, including cat treats, pet dishes, and a beady-eyed woven-fiber dog statue. While the items are eclectic in their purpose, they are unified by the Andrews’ commitment to promoting “small-batch makers,” says Bruce. “One of our favorite things to do is share the stories behind these products. One of the things that we’ve found is that people who visit Maine and have second homes here take a lot of pride in the place,” he says. He’s observed some of these summer residents touring the store with their houseguests, pointing out individual items and retelling the very same stories that Bruce and Liz shared with them. “We see the same people come in every week in the summer. We joke that we need a frequent shopper card,” says Liz as she straightens a display of cookbooks. Bruce nods in agreement: “I think we have the very best customers.” MH+D

TIPS FOR THROWING A PERFECTLY IMPERFECT RUSTIC DINNER PARTY

BEAUTIFULLY BUILT IN AMAZING PLACES.

uWelcome your guest in with plush

blankets, a neutral color palette, and a variety of touchable textures. “Chunky baskets or tufted couches can add interest to a room,” Liz says. “In the store, we offer giant, thick-woven baskets that can bring such beauty to a living room.” She suggests storing soft wool blankets inside a rustic natural-fiber basket. says Liz. “I’m all about things that are perfectly imperfect,” she says. Galvanized buckets with spots of rust can be used as rustic vases, lending a country vibe to a classic dinner setting, and the “rust adds character.” Blueberry stains also can add character; Farm Plus Table sells vintage wooden blueberry boxes that are stained purple, sourced from a blueberry farm in Calais, Maine. “If you’re serving dinner outside, they make the perfect serving tray,” Liz adds.

uEntertain with locally made items.

“It’s great to share these stories at dinner parties,” Liz says. In addition to providing conversational fodder, these locally made goods also support small-batch makers, like Rare Berry Farm and Northwoods Gourmet Girl. “And when the label is beautiful, like it is with Rare Berry, I serve it right from the jar.”

uNot all antiques need to be restored,

DESIGN. BUILD.

uFinish out the evening with a simple

dessert—like a caramel log from Suss Sweets in Nashua, New Hampshire. “We started displaying the caramel logs on wooden boards for customers to try, and they just took off,” Liz says. “It’s a great presentation—simple and unexpected.”

A Return to Child’s Play

he property had been in the family for several generations

when Stoneboat Architectural was enlisted to STONEBOAT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PC: WHISTLING Design PINES COTTAGE

design a new two-family cottage. The natural lay of the land had been the perfect backdrop for childhood memories. The aim was to preserve both the character of the land and its occupants’ fond memories while looking ahead to the pleasure of generations to come. Whistling Pines Cottage is nestled into a cozy site overlooking a private cove on Damariscotta Lake. Surrounded by the eponymous pines, it evokes a subtle sense of stability and respite for all. The contrast of materials—stone, metal, and wood—are perfectly suited to the rustic charm of the land. The combination of cedar shakes and board-andbatten siding give the cottage traditional charm. while contrasting stonework and metal offer an update with flair. MH+D
